Question

I have downloaded Messenger onto my phone before, but it won't download now. What could be the problem?

Community Answer

This is likely because of your phone storage. Check your phone's storage in Settings and delete any unnecessary data from your phone (apps, texts, photos, etc.). Then try installing Messenger again.
